Food, Family, Fun

Last time Fletcher spent the night at Mimi's house (my mom) Macy was distraught that she didn't get to go too. She'd only been here for two months and we actually thought she'd freak out if we tried to get her to spend the night away from us. It just didn't seem like a good idea. Let's just say we were wrong.

She was thrilled beyond words that she got to go with Mimi and Fletcher for an over-nighter on Saturday. They went to the water park, then to church the next day. She loved church and had no problem with Mimi leaving her in the Sunday school class. She came home telling me (half in English, half Amharic) that "the babies came and people hugged them, then they dunked them in water...their heads and their tushies". She's too cute.

After church we all met at Habesha for lunch. Here's Macy in her pretty Easter dress (that she wasn't home to wear on Easter).


Here's Marc with all the kids (that's his daughter Jackie next to him). Sometimes I forget that we have FOUR kids since only three of them actually live at home with us. It's crazy to look at this picture and realize that we actually have a pretty big family. We had a nice visit with Jackie this week. The kids absolutely love her (as do we!). I wish she lived closer.


And after lunch, Mimi took us out for ice cream. Love those faces.

The kids were sooo much fun! They're a pleasure to spend time with! Macy actually told me when it was time for them to go to bed: "Mata mata".
